This is KMC. This is what we do.

Which is why

Octavius was being restrained all the damn time?
I honestly think y'all are being too hard on Peter.
Spoiler:
He's that optimistic, youthful superhero that's just trying to do the right thing (and spurred on by May don't forget), and he's never fought anyone like Goblin before. That, and Goglin at the start appears as arguably the least threatening of the group once Peter actually meets him and talks to him. He feels bad for him and is taken in by his act. Norman isn't stupid either. With Strange off the board, Peter was easier to manipulate.I mean, they weren't subtle about this being the third of act of Peter's MCU origin story. He leans the hard lesson and in many ways, May is his Uncle Ben. I'm not gonna pretend it was perfect, but I don't think it was that offensive either.

Spoiler:
Tom-Peter and Otto saw him on the bridge, bombing the shit out of it and flying towards them.Norman has confessed right to their faces about his dual personality disorder, too. Didn't keep it a secret - as that was when Norman was in control, being honest with May and Peter.
Otto does confirm he is a threat once or twice, too.
With all that information (and hard proof back on the bridge), Peter really should've taken precautions.
And he is not that inexperienced, either - Mysterio pretended to be his friend and look where that got him.

Agreed these aren't very fair criticisms.
I can think of plot holes in the film, but too much focus on Pete's "stupidity" here. When it was more just youthful naivety. Which is very different to IQ level. And actually pretty spot on for the character.

Peter doesn't stab someone to death. Like Superman doesn't snap Zod's neck, or Batman doesn't let Ra's fall to his death.
Unless I was too drunk and only imagined that happened.

Spoiler:
bring a bunch of crazy supervillains to his mom's house is ridiculous. Even if we accept that he needed Otto and Norman's help because of their scientific knowledge, why the heck were Electro and Sandman there? They don't know jack about science.

Plenty of posters, plenty of different opinions.
See, Todd, quite a few things I considered retarded in NWH, but not that scene. Can't agree with you here.
Pretty sure you would stab Praven the Hunter to death if he harmed Callie, being a well-known pet hater and Sin's confidant he is vin

the Lizard. Even though he chose to stay in the van.
Not only he was old enough to know what he was doing, he's also quite experienced --- Civil War, Infinity War, Endgame, not to mention his own 2 solo films, which weren't exactly a walk in the park, either.

Dr. Strange was the worst of all.He blamed Peter for messing things up, but he's the idiot sorcerer who actually messed with time and space for one teenagers angst.
If Peter has the excuse of being young, Stephen should know better. He was right to lose the Sorcerer Supreme title.
Yep. This has always been Strange's problem even in the comics... His hubris.
I like him as a character but he is THE poster boy for duality of the good guy/bad guy because he ALWAYS thinks he's the smartest man in the room(he usually is but, you know what I mean).
The only character who's bawlz are bigger than Stephen and carries his nutz in a wheel barrel is Dr DOOM, my favorite villian/anti-hero.
...I'm SO ready for my boy to be introduced into the MCU proper.

Yeah, he's had more movies than Tobey and Garfield combined. You can't play the naive kid card anymore. Even if this was his first movie I can't imagine
Spoiler:
Ditko-era Peter bringing Doc Ock, GG, Lizard, Sandman and Electro to Aunt May's house and letting them walk around freely.
